Debian is running in the Flash and a tiny Python-GTK-Application, which simulates a simple cellphone-GUI, which sends fake-sms to a MySQL-server. Another PC accesses the server and produces the output for the sms-chatwall. Quite simple, but chic!

As Soon as everything is ready we will make it accessible to you, if possible.

By now we still got some problems with fixing the freerunners mechanically in the exhibition. But for we already bought them phones, we will solve this problem! :)

The mechanical-fixing problem seems solved. The handys are nearly ready.

From January 1st to Mai 3rd you can see and touch 2 Openmoko Freerunners in the DHM (Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin! They serve as faked cellphones to control a sms-chatwall in the exhibition "Die Sprache Deutsch".

Debian is running in the Flash and a tiny Python-GTK-Application, which simulates a simple cellphone-GUI, which sends fake-sms to a MySQL-server. Another PC accesses the server and produces the output for the sms-chatwall. Quite simple, but chic!

As Soon as everything is ready we will make it accessible to you, if possible.

By now we still got some problems with fixing the freerunners mechanically in the exhibition. But for we already bought them phones, we will solve this problem! :)
